Tokyo Gas Co., LTD Tokyo Gas Asia Pte. Ltd. Development Bank of Japan Inc.

Tokyo Gas Asia Pte., Ltd (President: Nobuhisa Kobayashi, "Tokyo Gas Asia"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tokyo Gas Co.,LTD. (President: Michiaki Hirose, "Tokyo Gas") , and Development Bank of Japan Inc. (President: Masanori Yanagi, "DBJ"), through a newly established joint venture, have acquired 33% shares of gas distributor PT Panji Raya Alamindo (President: Agustinus Hendrayana, "PRA") , a subsidiary of PT Rukun Raharja Tbk (President: Djauhar Maulidi, "RAJA").

This is the third case for Tokyo Gas to invest in a local gas distribution company overseas, following its investments in Gas Malaysia Berhad in Malaysia in 1992, and Petro Vietnam Low Pressure Gas Distribution Joint Stock Company in Vietnam in July 2017.

In Indonesia, energy demands for industries and commerce are rapidly expanding due to its remarkable economic growth.

Acquisition of the shares of PRA will contribute to the acceleration of overseas expansion which is targeted in Tokyo Gas Group's "Challenge 2020 Vision". By utilizing the "Special Investment Operations" that was partially funded by the Japanese government, DBJ decided to supply growth capital to support enhancement of competitiveness of Tokyo Gas and Japanese energy industry.

By applying technology and knowledge related to integrated energy business, Tokyo Gas Group will continue to serve by providing energy solutions to customers developing businesses and building local energy infrastructures in Southeast Asia and North America etc. In addition, Tokyo Gas Group will also strive to create regional energy

value chains through the alliances with local energy companies.
